Wolverhampton Low Level station...
... Or what's left. The ex LNWR High level station enjoys a good service to London and other places, while the ex GWR Low Level slumbers, it is now a mixed use development with a Premier Inn. There were plans to extend the Midland metro here but that route was not selected, and the overgrown tracks remained until 2005 when the redevelopment of the site began.
The line between Wolverhampton Low level and Birmingham Snow Hill formed part of the GWR's Paddington to Birkenhead route. This section lost its main line services in 1967, and local traffic ceased in 1972. Birmingham Snow Hill had been completely demolished by 1977 while Wolverhampton Low Level was spared that fate, and was retained as a parcels depot. Unfortunately, while Snow Hill is now served by trains to London once again, Wolverhampton Low Level isn't.
